Gran Turismo 5 Prologue patch brings new cars, events

A new patch for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue adds new cars, new events, and some …

Polyphony Digital made many grand promises about patching out the demo-likeGran Turismo 5 Prologue with more content following its release earlier this year. And while fans may still have to keep waiting for the big update that is allegedly going to vastly improve the online racing and add in car damage, a lesser, incremental update for the game is now available for download.

The update adds three new cars and a few new online events to the game. The Lotus Evora, Ferrari California, and the newly-unveiled Citroën Concept known as the "GT by Citroën" join the growing list of cars. The patch also comes with a number of tweaks, including significant changes to the penalty system during Time Trial races, increased rewards for different race events, improved control responsiveness, and more. Sadly, as a result of the changes, rankings and records are being reset.

While this is certainly a hearty update for the game, we're still waiting for the big promised patch with car damage and improved online play. Without the full roster of tracks, courses, and events, there's only so much offline action that one can enjoy with Prologue. Hopefully Polyphony is planning something big for the holiday season to keep Gran Turismo fans sated for a few more long and bitter years.
